This word comes from the Latin " hybrida " and its meaning indicates the mixture of two different races, this definition goes back to ancient Rome where they called in this way those subjects who came from the union between two people whose lineage was not the same, that is, they were originally from different places, one was Roman and the other foreigner, or they came from two different social classes such as the patricians and the commoners, or any other possible combination, the result of this union was a human being called a hybrid which He was despised by the rest of society since this type of mixture was not well seen in the high society of the Romans, it is what today some call mixed or bastards.
Hybrid is a term used to refer to the result of a union, mixture or combination between two elements that are of different nature. Hybrids are characterized because they are not pure of a specific matter, since when “ their parents ” mix, the hybrid takes part of both elements for it to define itself as a whole, obtaining as a result something totally new.
There are two ways to obtain a hybrid, which occurs naturally with the spontaneous union between two living beings, and in the artificial way, in these cases the man intervenes in the process, being he who initiates it, generally because he wants to get the most out of it. both elements, that is, you get the best of both worlds.
It is usually used in the field of biology in general, to refer to animals, plants, vegetables, among others, which are obtained through the union of two different species. Among the most common hybrid animals are dogs, which have been combined in order to obtain new breeds with the characteristics of the two initial dogs, an example of this is the Pitbull, which although it is currently considered a pure breed comes from the mixture Between a Bulldog and a Terrier, there is a great variety of them, such as the mule, liger, balfin, all of them hybrid animals.
In technology and mechanics, this way of achieving new things is also adopted, for example we say that a car is a hybrid when it uses a fuel and an electric motor to function.
